Investing.com - Cantor Fitzgerald has reduced its price target on Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT) to $24.00 from $25.00 while maintaining an Overweight rating on the Bitcoin mining company. The stock, currently trading at $10.80, has experienced significant volatility with a -17.68% return over the past week, according to InvestingPro data.
The adjustment follows Riot’s July production report showing the company mined 484 Bitcoin during the month, averaging 15.6 Bitcoin per day, an increase from June’s 449 Bitcoin or 15.0 Bitcoin daily. This production improvement occurred despite significant participation in demand response programs, which generated an estimated $13.9 million in power credits for July, up from $5.6 million in June and $3.7 million a year ago. The company, with a market capitalization of $4.01 billion, has shown strong revenue growth with analysts forecasting 77% growth for the current fiscal year.
Riot reported $54.8 million in net Bitcoin sales proceeds for July, representing a 31.4% month-over-month increase from June’s $41.7 million. The company achieved these sales at an average net price of $115,411 per Bitcoin during the month.
The company maintained its deployed hash rate at 35.5 EH/s as of July’s end, with plans to expand to 38.4 EH/s by the third quarter of 2025, increasing to 40.0 EH/s by the fourth quarter and reaching 45.0 EH/s by the first quarter of 2026.
This hash rate growth will primarily come from outfitting Rhodium assets and deploying newly acquired MicroBT mining rigs at Riot’s Rockdale site, which will add 10 EH/s of capacity.
